This serif typeface features pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, finely tapered serifs and a clean, upright stance. Capitals show generous proportions and sharp terminals, while curves (C, O, S) are smooth and controlled with a polished, print-like finish. The lowercase balances moderate x-height with relatively tall ascenders and refined joins; details like the ear of the g and the open, delicate forms of c and e reinforce a high-end text serif character. Numerals are similarly high-contrast and sculpted, with distinctive curves and tapered strokes that match the letterforms’ rhythm.
Well suited to editorial systems such as magazines, long-form articles, and book typography where a refined serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly in headlines, pull quotes, and brand identities that benefit from a classic, high-end tone.
The overall tone is sophisticated and composed, projecting a classic, editorial sensibility. Its high-contrast drawing and sharp finishing details lend it a fashionable, premium feel suited to cultured and formal communication.
The typeface appears designed to deliver a conventional reading serif with elevated contrast and sharp detailing, combining classical proportions with a more fashion-forward, polished finish for contemporary editorial and branding use.
The design relies on sharp stroke endings and carefully bracketed serifs, creating a crisp texture at display sizes while maintaining a dignified, traditional page color in text. Rounded letters and diagonals (such as V, W, and Y) show pronounced tapering, emphasizing a tailored, engraved-like refinement.
